Job description


Capture the Details. Bring Automotive Products to Life.
We're looking for a detail-oriented Automotive Photography Specialist to help create high-quality visual assets that power automotive catalogs, websites, and customer-facing materials. This hands-on role combines photography, image editing, product handling, and studio operations to ensure every image meets the highest standards of quality and consistency.
Working within a warehouse-based photography environment, you'll play an important role in transforming automotive products into polished, professional visual content while supporting a fast-paced production workflow.
What You'll Do
  • Photograph automotive parts, accessories, and products for use in catalogs, websites, and other marketing materials.
  • Generate high-quality, photo-realistic product images that accurately represent products and brand standards.
  • Assist with studio setup, image capture sessions, and daily photography operations.
  • Import, edit, color-correct, and retouch images using Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom.
  • Review digital assets to ensure they meet quality, consistency, and production standards.
  • Receive, prepare, scan, track, and stage products for photography.
  • Maintain organized file structures and workflows to meet production schedules and turnaround times.
  • Assemble and disassemble products and equipment as needed for photo shoots.
  • Cross-train on photography processes and provide backup support for other photography functions.
  • Support special projects and new initiatives as assigned.
  • Maintain photography equipment and assist with transportation between shoot locations when required.
  • Follow all warehouse safety procedures and help maintain a clean, organized work environment.

What Makes You a Great Fit
  • Strong background in digital photography, including composition, lighting, and image capture techniques.
  • Proficiency with professional photography equipment, studio lighting, and flash systems.
  • Experience editing and retouching images using Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom.
  • Excellent attention to detail and commitment to image quality.
  • Strong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines.
  • Comfortable working in a warehouse environment with varying temperatures and noise levels.
  • Ability to lift and move products and equipment up to 50 pounds.
  • Reliable, self-motivated, and able to work effectively as part of a team.
  • Professional communication skills and willingness to receive and apply constructive feedback.
  • Photography degree preferred, but equivalent experience and portfolio work are highly valued.

Location & Travel
  • Candidates should reside in Lansing, Michigan.
  • Occasional travel may be required, including assignments beyond the Lansing area and trips exceeding 60 miles.

Why This Role Matters
Every image tells a story. Your work will directly influence how customers, dealers, and partners experience automotive products. By combining technical photography expertise with creativity and attention to detail, you'll help create visual content that drives engagement, accuracy, and brand confidence.
